SCOLIA 2026, the Second International Workshop on Scholarly Information Access, will take place at ECIR 2026 in Delft, The Netherlands. The aim of the SCOLIA (SChOLarly Information Access) workshop, following the successful BIR workshop series and SCOLIA 2025, is to bring together researchers and practitioners from Information Retrieval (IR), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Scientometrics/Bibliometrics who are working on the analysis of scientific/scholarly documents. The workshop has a broader scope than the previous BIR workshop series. Bibliometrics and Scientometrics are concerned with all quantitative aspects of information and academic literature, which naturally make them interesting for IR research, in particular when it comes to academic search, recommendation, and other domains in which citations play a central role, for example, legal and patent retrieval.
As a successor of the Bibliometric-enhanced IR (BIR) workshop series at ECIR the SCOLIA workshop recognises the growing importance of fields such as generative AI and NLP for both the Scientometrics and the IR communities. While maintaining the original focus on intersecting the fields of IR with Scientometrics/Bibliometrics, we open the discussion to invite works utilising advanced NLP and AI technologies for academic information access.
